| Remarks | I was driving into work and a very bright light caught my left peripheral vision, i then looked at a 45 degree angle to my left and saw a large object moving downwards that appeared to be on fire and then exploded when it was just above the line of sight of the houses. I found a YouTube video titled "Michigan Meteor Jan 16 2018." What I saw was very similar to that, except that it appeared to be closer to me. |
